Was looking at my cars service records and before the end of warranty it only had tire and oil changes.

I was very shocked by the quotes to get these repairs as well as the run flat tire prices, though.
Anyways, these were all past the regular warranty period so not likely to be caught by JD Power
@VifferMike - am I correct to assume that viffer in your nickname refers to Honda VFR?
There is a reason why many warranty time periods/mileage are set. Very unlikely a OEMs car will break with in 3 years/30k miles. They realize if it does, you deserve it to be fixed. That 4-5+ year is when things start happening.
